Most of the protesters are in work, and for some, the reason they challenge the mess this world is in is that many could find themselves out of work anytime soon. They not only challenge the banks, but Governments around the world who have mortgaged all of us to the hilt by re-financing the same people who caused this mess at the expense of people everywhere. We get humped whilst the financial services industry are allowed to continue to gamble in the financial world of a casino with our money! You couldn't make it up. We need the voices of protest to make us sit up and take notice otherwise we just swallow everything the media tell us and just take it. If I was able, I would join the protesters because I believe they have a just cause. As for the answer, well, why not start by closing tax loopholes to the extortionately rich, believed to cost this country £25 billion a year rather than the disgusting populism of cutting the benefit bill. It seems that we have a millionaire Cabinet in charge of our country who are intent on enriching themselves even further. These people have done nothing other than University and Politics. Same goes for all of the Parties. None of them have a clue about real life. So maybe you can see why people get pissed off. Good luck to the protesters for they act on all of our behalf.

So they are all in work, are they taking extended leave for these protests. How do you know the majority are in work if they are camped out in these camps for weeks on end.You don't need to believe anything the media tells you, nor do we have to accept the claim the majority of these campers are in work while being on these protests for weeks on end.Or maybe you give credence to the claims that no one was actually camping out and that they all went home at night.Maybe the young girl wasn't sexually assaulted, maybe no one on these protests indulges in alcohol or drug participation, maybe the cow did jump over the moon but then not everyone will believe the claim the majority are in work while they camped out and cost the taxpayer a fortune.These people have no idea of how to run the economy, they are similar to yourself, they condemn everyone they want to blame but never ever come up with an uterior method of living.The media that tell us all the lies, I guess it must be the bad media while the good media tells us these people are all grafters.I don't know about you but stopping the spongers getting thousands of pounds a week in rent for mansions should be applauded by these protestors who condemn the bankers waste of money. People on the dole getting benefits in excess of £100,000 a year for doing nothing is a tad OTT in my book. The fact the majority of these claimants are foreign shows the system is completely wrong. Why is it wrong for bankers to waste money but okay for scroungers and parasites to come here and get 5 times the average wage in benefits for doing nothing. They could at least join the camps but then why do that when others are daft enough to sit in the cold and rain supporting a system built for scroungers.The poor people so abused by the tories are now limited to £20,000 a year of taxpayer's money for their rent, that's £400 a week and yet the defenders of the parasites are claiming ethnic cleansing. Well I for one will be happy to see the end of the abuse. Maybe you believe these poor people will be sleeping in the street, chance would be a fine thing, remember one thing, at least the bankers did some work for their money, the scroungers you give support to have no intention of doing any work, a bit like the camp protestors but they won't sleep in tents, they just want to continue their luxury existence on the taxpayer.I have no sympathy for the campers and even less for the scroungers who will have to move to cheaper abodes. Let them try working and paying their way, they might discover just how tough life is for THE MAJORITY. These spongers in their tents speak for no one and have no idea about real life.And to finish, try checking out the facts about these campers having no proper accounts from thousands of pounds in donations, was it drink or drugs it was spent on. Amazing, these people decry the bankers but made their money vanish with no accounts. Are these people with a different choice for life seers or just chancers, the odds are shortening on the latter.

Tam , from the bits and pieces that I read about the occupiers and their cause , it would take nothing short of a revolution to achieve their objective and I would'nt think that they could muster a revolution sitting in a tent in some park, or do they think that other's will do the job for them, this whole business seems to me to be nothing short of an excercise in futility , I think that they should all go back to "their jobs " and come up with a plan that has a chance of being , "maybe viable".
